I hate ts

Generally appreciate the font, easily selects which one I want, however it also messes with the spacing of words and entire page layout. Increases the zoom as well, which in my case is unwanted. I just want to be able to have the font changed and that's all. Sometimes it does forget about which pages it should be turned on for.
